Cringing slightly Yoko turned and said, "Mr. Briefs what a pleasant surprise." Mr. Briefs smiled at her charmingly and said, "Good morning Ms. Yoko. I trust you're enjoying your visit with the Sons." Goten stood and placing a hand on Yoko's shoulder said cheerfully, "She's having a blast. We we're just discussing the different preferences of City and country folk. By the way Yoko, this is my niece Pan. She's in love with Trunks so don't put any moves on him. You might die."
Goten was sent flying back from the double punch he received. Blushing angrily Pan yelled, "I don't love him! He's a womanizer!" Yoko ground out, "I will not be 'putting the moves on anyone' much less someone who plays videogames for a living!" Trunks protested at the accusations from the girls and Chichi started blabbering about great-grandchildren. At that moment a huge explosion outside caused everyone to run out. Yoko was shocked to see two men standing inside a large crater arguing. The tallest one was pouting as he whined, "Vegeta! Come on!" The other one who had to be at least a foot shorter rolled his eyes in annoyance as he snapped, "Silence Kakarrot! I'm on a mission!" Vegeta started forward and Yoko could see the arrogance oozing out of him.
The one called Kakarrot sighed and began to follow his short companion. His expression brightened when he saw everyone. Vegeta however scowled at everyone and didn't stop until he reached Yoko. Sticking his finger in Yoko's face he snapped, "I challenge you to fight." Silence. Then Yoko burst into a flurry of giggles. This guy had to be joking. Then after watching the guys face turn purple form anger it occurred that the guy was serious. Controlling her giggles Yoko said breathlessly, "Oh give me a break! You can't seriously expect me to fight you." Goten stepped forward and said firmly, "Sorry Vegeta but she's off limits. Further more we haven't told her anything yet so take things slowly."
Turning to face Goten, Yoko asked curiously, "What on earth are you talking about?" Goten smiled and said, "Later. By the way this is Vegeta, Trunks' dad and this is Goku, my father." Vegeta turned and huffed into the house demanding food while Goku held out his hand. "Hello Mr. Goku it's a pleasure to meet you." She shook his hand and Goku replied affably, "Hi Yoko! I'd love to chat but I'm starving so…" Yoko nodded and said, "Me to. I was in the middle of eating when you and Vegeta showed up. By the way, where's your car?"
Goku cocked his head and said innocently, "Car? I don't have one. I flew here." Yoko nodded and said understandingly, "oh so you have a private airplane? That's nice." Goku gave her a confused look but didn't answer because Chichi poked her head out the door and yelled, "Lunch is ready!" a little while later Yoko was seated at a table in between Goten and Trunks staring wide eyed at the people around her. Everyone but Chichi and Pan was shoving food down their throats like there was no tomorrow. Catching her eye Chichi said dryly, "Don't worry. It's in their blood to eat like pigs. Anyways how old are you Yoko? Goten here is 18. He just graduated from high school." Yoko glanced at Goten and said, "Wow 18. I'm a few years older than him."
Nudging her with his elbow Goten said around a mouthful of food, "You can't be too much older. You don't look a day over 17." Chichi nodded and Yoko stared at her plate in embarrassment before finally saying, "Well if you must know I'm 22." Goten and Trunks both stared chocking on their food. After a moment Trunks managed to wheeze out, "You've got to be joking. I agree with Goten. You can't be older than me and I'm 19." Yoko blushed and Chichi said firmly, "leave the poor girl alone. What's important is she's a nice young lady. So tell me Yoko, where are your parents?" Yoko turned a dull red and said, "They died when I was 12." Chichi exclaimed, "Oh you poor dear! How terrible! I lost my mother when I was 5. How about siblings?" Without thinking Yoko tightened her grip on her fork and said in a strangely calm voice, "Nope. I'm the only one."
Chichi leaned over and patted her hand. "Well you have nothing to worry about dear.
Come by and visit me anytime. And if you can't get a ride Goten will go and pick you up." Yoko glanced at him and frowned at his superior smile. As if she'd get it the same car as him. Pushing away from the table Goten said, "Well if you'll excuse me, it's time to give Yoko a history lesson."
Yoko laughed incredulously. These people had to be joking. "So you're trying to tell me that I'm the last full blooded female of some near extinct alien race? Surely you're joshing me?" the seriousness in everyone's face confirmed her suspicions. Shaking his head Goku said softly, "no we're telling you the truth. It may be hard to believe but I can prove it to you if you like."
Yoko laughed again and said, "Very well. Go on and prove your silly theory." Goten held up his hand and said mischievously, "Hold on let's make this more interesting. If this is a 'silly theory' as you say then we take you home immediately and we never bother you again. However if this 'silly theory' proves true then you have to go out with me." Yoko glared at him and snapped, "Goten how old are you? Exactly. I'm way too old to be going out on dates with someone who just graduated form high school." Goten shrugged and said smugly, "well then be prepared to stay here forever. You'll never get back to your house or your precious job." Yoko narrowed her eyes and snapped, "Very well. If you insist."
"May I see your tail?" Yoko reluctantly unwrapped her tail form around her waist. Goten admired it and said, "A saiyan with a tail transforms while looking at the moon. Since there's a full moon tonight it's the perfect opportunity to see if you're a true saiyan. Come with me." He walked out of the house and Yoko followed feeling dread well up inside of her. When was the last time she looked at the moon? The sky was cloudy and Yoko breathed a sigh of relief. Something about this whole thing was bringing her a bad feeling.
Just as she was breathing a sigh of relief the clouds moved and the moon appeared shining brightly. Yoko couldn't tear her eyes away from it. Slowly black touched the edge of her vision. Feeling power surge through her Yoko thought grimly, not again…, as she succumbed to the dark. Goten watched in fascination as Yoko's jade eyes turned crimson and her mouth filled with fangs. Letting out a sigh he pointed his finger at her lengthening tail. Letting out a controlled chi he quickly chopped it off before she could complete the transformation. He moved forward and caught her before she hit the ground. Yoko moaned and clung to him. Smiling Goten lifted her up into his arms and went back inside.
Opening her eyes Yoko let out a groan. She felt as if she had broken every bone in her body. Sitting up she frowned. Where was she? Glancing around she realized with horror she was in a large cage. At on end was a tiny cot covered in a musty blanket. In the other corner was a tiny sink with a toilet beside it. "Well. I see you've finally awaken." Standing up Yoko slowly turned and saw Dr. Crenshaw. He was smiling smugly despite his dirty appearance. His hair was mussed and he was covered in a sickening combination of dirt and blood. Seeing her disgusted look he sneered, "Don't look to appalled my darling. After al, it was you who caused me to look this way."
After a moment Yoko found her voice and asked weakly, "W-what's going on? Where are my parents?" Dr. Crenshaw smiled and said, "My apologies, I seem to have forgotten my manners. You are in your new home. Here I shall conduct a series of experiments on you to determine the best way to defeat the saiyan race. Don't worry. You seem healthy enough. Not like that blasted brother of yours." Yoko sank to her knees and whispered, "Are they dead?"
Dr. Crenshaw grinned cheerfully and said, "I'd like to show you something, come this way if you please." As if in a dream Yoko slowly walked to Dr. Crenshaw. He stood on the outside of the cage and he now pointed to a huge screen on the other side of the room. A man in a lab coat pressed a button and the screen lit up. At first it was all dark but Yoko could here screams. Then suddenly the screen lit up with an image of her parents running. Then out of nowhere a giant roar was heard and a large hand was grabbing her mother. The camera shifted and Yoko watched in horror as the creature was revealed.
It was a giant ape. Its fur was Golden-brown and its eyes were a crimson red. It screamed in fury and threw her mother into a tree. She died instantly. Raising a hand to her mouth Yoko whispered, "What is that!" Dr. Crenshaw merely smiled and motioned for the lab man to fast forward. He did and Yoko's eyes grew wide as saucer at the image on the screen. The ape seemed to be growing smaller and soon it was lying on the ground in a fetal position. The camera zoomed and Yoko began to sob. It wasn't an ape that had killed her parents. It was her. Putting his hand threw the cage bars Dr. Crenshaw patted her head, "No need to cry my dear. You will soon be joining them."
Yoko collapsed and her screams of rage echoed throughout the lab.
Yoko awoke with start. Gasping she sat up in bed and slowly came to her senses. She was in the Sons house, not that hellhole pit of a laboratory that man had. "Yoko?" Yoko immediately looked up and saw Goten standing at the door. She blushed at the sincere concern on his face. "Oh…Goten. What time is it? I really must be getting home." Goten walked to her and gently touching the side of her face he stated, "Your crying." Blushing wildly Yoko touched her other cheek and realized with dismay that he was right. When was the last time she had cried? Closing her eyes Yoko thought, my first day in the lab…Warm arms engulfed her and opening her eyes Yoko realized with dismay that Goten was hugging her. She thought of pushing him away but then realized with shock she rather enjoyed being held by him.
Sighing Yoko rested her head against his chest and allowed her tears to flow. A few minutes later she pushed away and gave an embarrassed sniff. "I-I'm sorry. I had a bad dream and it upset me." Smiling broadly Goten cheerfully said, "No worries. The next time you need to cry my shoulder is all yours." Yoko frowned and snapped as she slipped out of bed, "there won't be a next time. No where's your mom? I need to say bye." "Say bye?" Turning to glare at Goten she snapped, "Yes. Bye. That was part of the agreement right. I prove you wrong and you let me go home."
"Oh so you suddenly you're the one who's right. Well I'm sorry to say but I have proof that I'm right and you're wrong." Yoko placed her hands on her hips and said, "what do you mean proof?" Goten stood and smiled smugly, "I have to pieces of evidence. First you have no tail." Yoko immediately glanced behind her and realized with shock that he was right. Her tail, her beautiful, fluffy, brown tail was gone. Turning pink she snarled, "What the hell happened to my tail!" Goten's eyes grew wide when she saw how angry she was. Yoko's eyes were narrowed dangerously and from her stance she was barely controlling herself from jumping him. Kami she was beautiful.
"Relax. I had to cut it off before you could transform completely. If I had let that happen you might have destroyed the house. Anyways Trunks took a video so that's my second piece of evidence." Yoko blanched and Goten wondered if he had seen anyone go from red to white in a matter of seconds. Uncertain he said, "If you want we could-!" Yoko interrupted him by blurting out, "No! I don't want to see that video. Just take me home. I believe you."
At that moment Chichi walked in. "I thought I heard yelling in here. Is everything alright?" Yoko nodded weakly and Goten said easily, "Everything's fine. Uh…Yoko's ready to go home so I'm gonna take her." Chichi immediately burst in to tears and hugged Yoko saying, "Please come and visit soon!" Yoko nodded and said, "Sure thing. Maybe next week or something." A few moments later Yoko was standing outside besides Goten. Glancing around her Yoko asked, "Well? Where's your car?" Goten grinned and said, "my car is in its capsule where it belongs. If we drove it would take us over 5 ours to get to West City. I have a faster means of transportation." "What do you meaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan!" Yoko's sentence ended in a scream when all of the sudden she found herself held tightly against Goten and more than a thoushand up in the air.
Throwing her arms around his neck Yoko screamed, "PUT ME DOWN!" Goten grinned wickedly and said, "my pleasure." Unhooking her arms from around his neck Goten let go. Yoko screamed again and founding herself falling. Just as the ground was getting impossibly close Goten caught her and swooped upwards. Clutching him tightly Yoko snapped, "what the hell is wrong with you? Are you mental or something!"
Goten shrugged and said, "So I've been told. Anyways just relax. I'm not going to drop you." Slowly Yoko relaxed and began to enjoy the sudden flight. The sensation of whizzing through the air with the wind pushing against her face was incredible. "Teach me." Yoko's demand startled Goten. Looking down at her he saw she was serious. "Teach you what?" Yoko rolled her eyes and said, "Don't play stupid Goten. I want you to teach me how to fly." Goten raised an eyebrow and said, "I'm not to sure. My prices are rather high." Yoko narrowed her eyes and declared, "I'll pay anything that you ask me to."
Goten slowed to a stop and he lowered his mouth to Yoko's ear and whispered, "Anything?" shivering from the slight touch of his mouth against her ear Yoko said with a calm she didn't feel, "Anything." Goten pulled back and said with a sudden cheerfulness, "Good but I'll let you know later because I need you to tell me where you live." Looking around Yoko realized that they were in the City. She quickly pointed out her apartment. Making sure no one was around Goten landed. As she turned to leave he reached out and grabbed her hands. Yoko blushed angrily. "Goten what the…" his mouth cut her off. Then before she could move closer or push him away Goten released her and flew off.
"Girl, I know I did not just see you lock lips with that man." Yoko Whipped around and blushed when she saw it was none other than Aria. "A-aria? What are you doing here?" Aria raised an eyebrow and said, "That doesn't matter. Let's go upstairs so you can tell me that guy was and why he was flying through the air. C'mon." Yoko sighed as her friend grabbed her hand and led her to the apartment.
Well that's chappie three! Lol. It's too long for my taste but oh well. Hope you guys enjoyed!
